What minimum pressure in psi (pounds per square foot) would a 250 mL aerosol can

Question

What minimum pressure in psi (pounds per square foot) would a 250 mL aerosol can have to withstand if it were to contain 2.50 L of gas measured at 700torr
Assume temperature stays constant 14.7 psi = 1 arm 760 torr = 1 atm

Assume temperature stays constant 14.7 psi = 1 arm 760 torr = 1 atm

Assume temperature stays constant 14.7 psi = 1 arm 760 torr = 1 atm

Explanation / Answer

As temperature remains constant

Thus, applying P1*V1 = P2*V2 ; we get

2.5*(700/760) = 0.25*P2

or, P2 = 9.21 atm = 135.4 psi
